In reply to who has had a hypomania episode??please respond, posted by woolav on May 1, 2005, at 18:26:46
Hi:
First, ... what form of med./med. combo. you were on when you got/started 'those' urge.Hypomania is NOT only 'sexual' things, but also 'over-productive' to accomplish more than your 'normal' capability. In my case, I did cleaning all over the house, plus yard-work I normally never touched. Also, 'speedy-talk' to almost non-stop conversation with even strangers I met at the local grocery store. And among others I never did on my normal mind. It was something like a 'dream' in my recollection. At that time, ... I never thought those 'crazy' mind was due to my 'undiagnosed' Bp. Afterwards, strangely I developed 'deep' depression. Bipolar has not only 'hypomania' but also depression. If you have ONLY 'hypomanic' episodes, ... in your case, 'sexual' related, ... then it's NOT Bipolar. Rather, it sounds to me like you have 'impulsive' nature of M.I. which I can not remember to name/label for.
As for your hushand's suspicion, ... it's quite 'bad,' ... however once he started to suspect your 'over-stimulated' activities, probably he has been experiencing a difficult time to believe your story. Because, ... as we know, LOVE is related to trust, or vise versa. You can, however, ask your husband to go to your T session, but if he's NOT willing to do so, it might not work things out as you expected. On other Bp sites, I read posts similar to yours, enormous to semi-sexual urge with strangers. Then, at least, in this regard, you're NOT alone.
H.G.
